Epson LX300+2 has a parallel port along with a usb one. The parallel one should work but just cross check with google for other user experiences. I have extensively used the LX 300 (the older one) on Linux (after a lot of complaining on this list :-) ). The Epson drivers never worked and gave me the random outer space characters instead of my print job. I had to use the generic esc/p driver and results were fantastic.

I am looking for a letter quality dot matrix printer that can handle single page as well as continuous feed paper.
Preference is Epson - but open to other brands as well.
This search gives a long list http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Epson which is quite daunting.
A colleague recommended LX300+II but it is not listed above. I am not sure if the generic dot matrix (24 pin) driver will work with it or not. I do not want to spend Rs 7500 and find out that it will not work with Linux :)
